# Run a local registry mirror
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have multiple instances of Docker running in your environment
|
||
|
|
(e.g., multiple physical or virtual machines, all running the Docker
|
||
|
|
daemon), each time one of them requires an image that it doesn't have
|
||
|
|
it will go out to the internet and fetch it from the public Docker
|
||
|
|
registry. By running a local registry mirror, you can keep most of the
|
||
|
|
image fetch traffic on your local network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How does it work?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first time you request an image from your local registry mirror,
|
||
|
|
it pulls the image from the public Docker registry and stores it locally
|
||
|
|
before handing it back to you. On subsequent requests, the local registry
|
||
|
|
mirror is able to serve the image from its own storage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How do I set up a local registry mirror?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two steps to set up and use a local registry mirror.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 1: Configure your Docker daemons to use the local registry mirror
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need to pass the `--registry-mirror` option to your Docker daemon on
|
||
|
|
startup:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
docker --registry-mirror=http://<my-docker-mirror-host> -d
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, if your mirror is serving on `http://10.0.0.2:5000`, you would run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
docker --registry-mirror=http://10.0.0.2:5000 -d
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**NOTE:**
|
||
|
|
Depending on your local host setup, you may be able to add the
|
||
|
|
`--registry-mirror` options to the `DOCKER_OPTS` variable in
|
||
|
|
`/etc/defaults/docker`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Step 2: Run the local registry mirror
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need to start a local registry mirror service. The
|
||
|
|
[`registry` image](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/registry/) provides this
|
||
|
|
functionality. For example, to run a local registry mirror that serves on
|
||
|
|
port `5000` and mirrors the content at `registry-1.docker.io`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
docker run -p 5000:5000 \
|
||
|
|
-e STANDALONE=false \
|
||
|
|
-e MIRROR_SOURCE=https://registry-1.docker.io \
|
||
|
|
-e MIRROR_SOURCE_INDEX=https://index.docker.io registry
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Test it out
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With your mirror running, pull an image that you haven't pulled before (using
|
||
|
|
`time` to time it):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ time docker pull node:latest
|
||
|
|
Pulling repository node
|
||
|
|
[...]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
real 1m14.078s
|
||
|
|
user 0m0.176s
|
||
|
|
sys 0m0.120s
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, remove the image from your local machine:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ docker rmi node:latest
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, re-pull the image:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ time docker pull node:latest
|
||
|
|
Pulling repository node
|
||
|
|
[...]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
real 0m51.376s
|
||
|
|
user 0m0.120s
|
||
|
|
sys 0m0.116s
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second time around, the local registry mirror served the image from storage,
|
||
|
|
avoiding a trip out to the internet to refetch it.
